    PRESS RELEASE OKI 24-Hour – NZ’s Toughest Dinghy Race next Weekend Auckland (March 3, 2015): The North Shore’s beloved OKI 24-Hour Race begins this Saturday 7 March at 2pm. Olympic-hopefuls and local heroes young and old will be sailing through the night in this iconic event with past winners including Dean Barker, Ray Davies and Peter Blake. “The OKI 24-hr sailing event is New Zealand’s toughest dinghy race and we have teams from all over the country as well as international sailors competing,” says Murrays Bay Sailing Club Commodore, Scott Leith. Andy Maloney and Nick Heiner (Laser World Champ) and Blair Tuke (49er World & Olympic Champion) are heading the entry list for the race with stiff competition expected from the large contingent of local male and female crews. The OKI 24-Hour Race is a competition for laser sailors held on Lake Pupuke and run by Murrays Bay Sailing Club, a club with a rich history of sailors recognised through Round the World races, national championships, America’s Cup regattas and the Olympics. “Last year’s event was held in stunning sailing conditions with over 90 teams spread across the OKI 24-Hour and OKI 6 hour race for Optimists,” says Leith. “The start of the race is quite unique and really exciting with the sailors in a Le Mans-style mad dash down the hill and launching themselves into the boats.” Auckland Wellington Christchurch 8 Antares Place Level 30 480B Moorhouse Avenue Rosedale 0632 Grand Plimmer Tower 8011 2-6 Gilmer Terrace 0611 (09) 477 0500 (03) 366 0876 (04) 569 2940 www.oki.co.nz There’s a major prize of $2,000 available for the sailor/s who do the most laps in the 24-hour timeframe.

  • The Telltale
    COLUMBIA SAILING CLUB FEBRUARY 2015 the Telltale History of a Long Boat…Solera Charles Calhoun There are many boats on our property. Some are for the excitement of racing and some for the pleasure of cruising. Some are new and some show some age. But there’s one that is over 85 years old and has a racing PHRF rating of 156 as compared to a J24 rating of 168, or a J27 with a 126, or an Ultimate 20 rated 144. Keep in mind the lower the rating the faster the boat. That boat is named Solera and is owned by Bruce Seiffert. The original designer and builder, Starling Burgess, the son of the designer of three America’s Cup yachts, was a gunner’s mate in the Spanish-American War, invented a new type of machine gun, wrote three books of poetry while a Harvard, and opened a shipyard in Marblehead in 1905. In 1910 He built the first airplane to fly in New England, went on to build the first licensed aircraft company in America, built the first seaplane to take off and land on water and later designed a three wheeled car which according to many looked more like an egg than a car. In 1928 Burgess’s creativity lead him to build a 30 foot boat which he called the Atlantic. His marketing skills produced 80 orders which were racing the next summer. By 1930 the first fleet of 100 Atlantics was formed. Solera was given to young George Franklin as a high school graduation gift in 1929 and over a decade proved to be one of the premiere boats in her class winning club championships in 1930, 31, 33, 34, 35, 38, and (continued on page 7) PAGE 1 COLUMBIA SAILING CLUB FEBRUARY 2015 At The Helm Commodore J.C.
